strike in pakistan. when you talk to people in the administration, or when they are willing to go on the record to the press about these things, they will describe these drone strikes as having been reported. they never full on admit that the united states is carrying them out. but it is the united states carrying them out. the fact that we know these things are happening and that our government nevertheless considers them to be deniable is frankly one of the more orwellian things about being an american citizen in the 21st center pi. the closest thing we have to a face for the drone policy or the drone non-policy is this man. he is the face of this policy that we have of killing people outside of war zones using this particular tool. and he is the face of the policy both because he is the man who is reported to bring specific names and specific details of specific targets to the president for the president's personal approval. so to the extent that there is a kill list, this guy is reportedly the keeper

drone strike inside pakistan in less than two weeks. the obama administration has begun 2013 with a flurry of drone attacks inside pakistan, raising speculation is accelerating the bombings before its capacity to carry them out is diminished with a planned withdrawal from afghanistan by the end of next year. according to a tally by the website long war journal, u.s. drones have already killed as many as 11 civilians and 30 suspected militants in the first 10 days of the year. if confirmed, that would mean a death ratio of more than one civilian for every three suspected militants. it would also already exceed the official civilian death toll for 2012, though that number is likely to small because u.s. policy deems all adult males as militants unless contrary evidence emerges after their deaths. according to the washington post, the future stationing of cia bases that launch the drone strikes will be among the topics discussed by the white house and afghan president karzai during karzai's current visit to washington. the obama administra

many of the detainees were arrested by pakistani authorities in pakistan. others were arrested in thailand by the police. you had nashiri who was arrested in to buy another arrested in somalia. the notion that we have to have the special forum that has battlefield conditions is a great smokescreen for this second-rate process that says more about us than about the people we are trying to bring before us. another important piece is the issue of torture. the senate select committee on intelligence completed their report recently and you probably saw john mccain and dianne feinstein said the report concludes torture did not work. they say it was a stain on our reputation. it is important that that report is declassified to the public in light of "zero dark 30." it is about the killing of osama bin laden bin laden. i think the movie will do for torture with jaws did for sharks. it will become the public perception of reality and it is a lie. i think that moving makes it doubly important for the senate select committee to report -- to get the report declassified
